Grass has many benefits as well as being a staple food for animals. Lawns are attractive, are good for the environment and for health and well-being. Grass absorbs carbon dioxide and adds oxygen to the atmosphere. It traps dirt, smells great when cut and is soft to play on.

Green Manures are fast growing plants grown from seed to cover bare soil. The foliage from green manures helps smother weeds. Green manures benefit soil fertility, help soil structure and the environment by attracting insects. The method is simple. You sow, they grow – and then you dig them in. Benefits all round for you, the soil and nature.

Wildflowers will provide a valuable food source and habitat for many beneficial insects and other species who thrive within such an environment. The greatest benefit to all wildlife is where the wildflowers are in sunny sites, close to other habitats such as a hedge. You can sow your own habitat using our UK origin wildflower seed.
